Not something I'd use, but it's well made nonetheless. Good job!

It looks like a lot of images are just thrown in there casually. If you wanted to make a graphic background I'm sorry but you failed at it (also you don't use a doc to make something like this if that's what you did there). The order you used here doesnt have a right sense.
It doesn't look like a background to me at all.

Don't listen to Phoetux, oblivionkeeper23. Your Oddworld phone background is close to perfection.

Happy

This is the first phone background I've ever made, so there's going to be obvious flaws. I appreciate any and all constructive criticism!

:

You caught me lol.

:
(also you don't use a doc to make something like this if that's what you did there).
Yeah, I see what you're saying. I plan on getting back adobe soon, when I get enough cash, so hopefully I'll be able to make better edits.

:
The order you used here doesnt have a right sense.
It doesn't look like a background to me at all.
How would you have done the order? Apart from the randomness I decided to do


Also, thank you to everyone who does like it! I'll make sure to improve my skills!

:

I would use a diagonal grid order for example. To let you understand better lemme show you this image:


This is a diagonal grid.
You can use it to make generally a phone wallpaper using different images on it. How to do that? It's simple;
In the intersection points of the straight lines you can place some images (the ones you used for example) to then make an order like this:


The idea would be that in the green points you place Abe's images and in the pink ones you put Munch's images.

After knowing where to put the images, you make a background which could be pretty much everything, like a color which then blurs into the corners for example.
Also the images I would put in the intersections would be Abe and Munch faces, in my opinion it would look better but it's not necessary to do it like this. What's necessary, imo, is to follow at least an order to place the images and to don't use a blank background.
Works like these are made geometrically obviously, so yeah adobe would be great (you need to get Adobe Illustrator in this case).

I hope I was helpful and explained what you needed to know.

Although we are forgetting the fact that plain white backgrounds with loads of low-res images dotted about look like shit.
